Extend the Montessori philosophy to

"Tu Casita," or your home.

"The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man's intelligence, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers...At no other age has the child greater need of an intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen the chance of achieving perfection."

--Dr. Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind

PARENT-INFANT CLASSES

Parents, this class is for you and your zero to 18

month old baby. A supportive environment since birth can make a difference in the development of a child. Children are currently exposed to many obstacles to development. This course will show you how to recognize those obstacles and show you which alternatives to offer to help your child's potential.

The class will be held in the Nido, a specially prepared environment for infants. The course is meant to be a relaxing experience for all, as it will accommodate for the needs of the moment such as nursing, mealtimes, infant exploration, etc. As the babies are engaged in their activity, our Parent Infant Coordinator, Sonya Jones, will cover the following topics:

PREPARING THE HOME ENVIRONMENT

DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE

DEVELOPMENT OF MOVEMENT

DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENCE

WEANING/EATING

TOILETING

POSITIVE GUIDANCE

MONTESSORI THEORIES

COMMENTS AND QUOTES

"I've learned to observe Levi daily and encourage his accomplishments. It may sound strange, but I feel I have benefited the most. As a new mom, there are many fears. I appreciate learning about the sensitive periods and incorporating those into our daily routine. I also feel more confident that I can ask wonderful moms questions and not feel like I am the only one going through a particular situation. Overall, I learned a lot to take through my motherhood experience." --Lori Nisimblat

"This course has opened my eyes to what Grace is capable of at just 12-13 months." --Trisha Vela
